Found it amusing to hear a friend say she takes part in an online government survey every day,
She says the questions are always poorly phrased but least she is able to have a rant. She went on to say, "Today is all about their second homes and expenses funding. Almost every free comment made suggests we should no longer pay for their second homes etc instead ... house them in a Barge on the Thames LOL If it's good enough for our potential future citizens ... that works for me" 🤣🤣🤣
Interesting article in the news about free school meals being offered to all primary school children across London.
"Exclusive: Sadiq Khan’s plan, spurred by ministers’ ‘failure to act’, will save families about £440 for every child"
Khan goes on to say,
“I have repeatedly urged the government to provide free school meals to help already stretched families, but they have simply failed to act.”
Here's the link.

My prayers are with the victims and families currently suffering from the massive earthquakes in Turkey and Syria I am so sad for Syria it's heart breaking I beg that people can still be rescued and that who ever stopped the aid from getting their sooner thinks hard about what they have done because the blood is on their hands.
I am hoping daily that more people can be saved and that help gets there as fast as possible we all need to help what ever way we can this is just so painful to hear about and see on the news my heart goes out to all of you who have lost someone I can't imagine how you feel and my heart and thoughts are with all of those lost its a dreadful thing to have happen to you all and I am deeply saddened by all what I've heard and seen I pray every one on this planet helps in anyway they can and governments step up and send more help for you all.
Let's not forget the Conservatives licenced £34,00,000,000 worth of arms to Qatar since 2010
I think the chancellor has tried to do his very best to balance things, and to be as fair as possible, especially against the backdrop of the cost of living crisis.
I think Jeremy Hunt is also trying his best to reverse the measures that were made during and after the mini budget.
It is the autumn budget tomorrow.
Many charities have appealed for common sense and to support the lowest income earners.
Many are demanding to tax wealthy companies.
I don't feel hopeful.
A celebrity? No a politician who made deliberate decisions that impacted the lives of millions of people.
Gavin Williamson has now resigned from his post.
I'm sure he won't be struggling without this job.
